Does Yellow Fluid In Bowel Movements Before A Colonoscopy Indicate Any Problem?

Hi, I have a question about colonoscopy. I'm currently taking Fleet phospho-soda as preparation for the scope. I know that my bowel movements are supposed to be 'clear', but I don't quite understand what that means. I'm currently passing a yellow fluid. Have I done something wrong?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
no.this is expected and fluid may be yellowish since feces is diluted and such products lead to this what you describe. It will become more clear as time pass. Just be sure that you take phosphosoda as recommended so that colonoscopy can be properly done.
WIsh you good health. Regards
